DAVID MOYES saw Manchester United ruin Luis Suarez’s comeback last night and then defiantly hit back at his doubters by insisting he will be a big success at Old Trafford.

It is important that I am back because I can help the team on the pitch – off the pitch I can’t

Suarez’s return to action after serving his 10-match suspension for biting Branislav Ivanovic ended in frustration as he struck the bar with a late free-kick. But he could not stop Liverpool from slipping up 1-0 at United’s ground.

Instead it was Moyes’s team who secured a home tie with Norwich in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup, thanks to Javier Hernandez’s goal seconds into the second half. “I will fix it. I will turn it around,” vowed Moyes as he praised his players for their reaction to Sunday’s 4-1 mauling at the hands of neighbours Manchester City.

“There certainly was some relief as it was a big day for us,” added Moyes, who has actually now made the best start to a season by a new United manager since Matt Busby in 1946. “We lost at Anfield a few weeks ago, we had lost at the Etihad last week. So we wanted to put that right.

“What was important was that the whole club showed we were hurt by the game on Sunday. We did not perform to our levels.

“But they have gone out and the players have done a great job to earn us a big result. I am really pleased with them.

“It is not frustrating because I will sort it. I will fix it. I will turn it around. I have got no doubt about that. What have I learned? We know we have to improve.

“I am still getting to know them. They are really good team, they won the Premier League last year, but we need to make sure we improve.”

Suarez’s cameo was the high spot for Liverpool and the Uruguay striker insisted afterwards he would continue to give his best for the club despite failing to land a move to Arsenal in the summer.

“The result was not good because we lost, but the feeling is good because we played very well, we created chances but we missed them,” said Suarez.

“I know it was a difficult moment for myself and the team. It is important that I am back because I can help the team on the pitch – off the pitch I can’t.

“We will keep going for the next week and the next game. All the time I try my best on the pitch. I am here to help the team and to help Liverpool. They live for me and I try my best.”

Liverpool manager Brendan Rogers said: “Luis ran himself into the ground. He was always a threat, he put defenders on the back foot with a couple of twists and as he goes on he will get a bit sharper.

“Overall he can be really pleased and I was really happy for him because his contribution was brilliant.

“He has worked very hard. He obviously tired a bit towards the end, but the only way he is going to get his fitness is playing in games.
